1 Fit the turntable and turntable mat.
Put the turntable on the center spindle and then lay the mat
on top.
Be very careful when putting the turntable on the main unit.
The magnet on the bottom of the turntable is finely adjusted
and sharp contact can cause it to move and lead to poor
operation. Ensure the magnet remains free from dust and
iron particles.
Do not adjust the screws attaching the magnet to the turn-
table. The rated performance of the unit cannot be guaran-
teed if the magnet is moved.
2 Attach the head shell.
Fit the head shell into the tone arm, keep it horizontal and
tighten the locking nut.
3 Attach the balance weight to the rear
of the tone arm.
If the cartridge weighs between 10 and 13 grams, attach the
included auxiliary weight to the main balance weight.
